Jomtien 8-Ball Pool League | Rompho Pool Leagues

If you stay in Pattaya for more than just a few weeks and enjoy a game of 8-ball pool and meeting new people at the same time, then how about joining one of the many expat pool teams here at Jomtien?
Only Jomtien has currently three stand-alone amateur pool leagues with more than 50 bars competing against each other three times a week. And here’s how it all started.

Match Results, League Tables, Fixture Lists & News

The “old” Jomtien 8-ball Pool League, a local amateur pool “pub league” for bars all around Jomtien, first kicked off in 2003 and, in its original form, survived for 13 seasons.
Following the break-up of the original league in 2009, two stand-alone pool leagues emerged at Jomtien, with matches in both leagues taking place every Thursday. While one of these leagues is still being continued and is currently simply known as the Jomtien Pool League, the second league (Jomtien Expats Pool League) also disintegrated in 2011.

Later in 2011, bars in the Rompho complex on Jomtien Second Road (opp. Soi 7) initiated their own alternative pool league on Tuesdays (Rompho Expats Pool League), which is exclusively open to bars in the Rompho complex area. A new Monday league also kicked off in September 2014. As a result, Jomtien has currently three stand-alone pool leagues, with matches taking place weekly on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
On this page you can find weekly updated league tables, match results and fixtures for all three leagues.

Hi Stuart, there are currently three leagues in Jomtien, on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. The Monday and Tuesday leagues are basically just open to bars in the Rompho complex area. The Thursday league (international rules) is open to teams from all over Jomtien. I’m currently running the Thursday league pretty much myself and a new season will start sometime late July. As for the other two leagues I’m not 100% sure who’s in charge at the moment but I’ll find out and give you a call a.s.a.p.

HI Stuart, I’m doing the Monday night league at the moment but there is a meeting for the new Tuesday night league next week at Simple Life starting 5pm (Tuesday 16th June) where you can register a team.

Yes, it’s Wan Ork Pansaa or End of Buddhist Lent. Not sure (I’m not doing the Tuesday league myself) but they’ll probably have to reschedule the matches or add an extra match week to the end of the regular fixtures?

Hi Pete, if you mean the Thursday league just send me an email as I’m actually running it myself. If it’s the Monday or Tuesday league you’re interested in I can pass your enquiry on to the chairman/secretary in these leagues as well.

For the moment only the question.
Whe have a new bar in Jomtien Complex with a very good table (only the lamps we have to place) The name of the bar is Man place just at the entrance of the venue cabaret soi and Thappraya Road. We like to start in the competition next season but like to play some practice matches. Can you inform me by return mail about conditions, rules, investment etc. We can play every evening.

Patrick, I remove the old tables from Google Drive and this page when I publish the new ones every week. Simply don’t want to keep all the old data – this page takes long enough to load already. Why would you want to look at results from two months ago?
